Let's raid the Gold Coast

[Sir Why You Little 34,430]

Let's see how hard GC implode through this seaon before we raid any players.

Remember no sporting club survives up there

This could be the biggest $$$ killer in AFL history

Meanwhile all those draft kids were lost.

Nice one Vlad

Funny how everyone thought GWS would be the one that implodes and be a disaster

They look like Manchester United compared to the Suns

GWS needs to start getting people to their games before they start championing the "success" call. Even a premiership this year wouldn't get people to their games. I'm still convinced they'd have been better off going to Canberra and staying there.

They won't last either. Even the lions are $13 mill in debt.

It can only get worse

But GC is a party town. It will explode the loudest.

I agree GWS are a joke , just saying they are operating much better than GC, they seem much moire professionally run.

Still wish a Tassie team came in at the expense of one of them.

I'm sure that's a temptation that most of the AFL community would have felt at some stage

The Suns looked alright for a while as well. Plenty of time for things to go pear shaped.

I don't think Rocket realised what he was walking into, i've heard they're a team of cocky, selfish, egotistical individuals with little to no idea of how to function as a team, they look impressive at times because of the sheer talent levels they have but they don't have the culture, plan, mentality at this stage to do it consistently enough to realise their potential as a team.

all of the problems start with the captain imo, great individual player, but their whole plan has basically been get the ball to gaz, they can't function without him, and even when he plays he feeds off that mentality.

It was a very funny segment that when 'Robbo' talked about a GC player (one of those suspended by the club). The 'Ox' did the sums pretty quickly and came up with Bennell and 'Robbo' had to admit it.

Josh Kelly subbed out, used as the sub, now dropped from gws side over the last three weeks.

Would love him.

Would be ironic if we ended up with him after all the noise was that we got it wrong in passing him up (twice no less).

I'm sure Salem would love to have his good mate at Melbourne.

Unless of course they're Victorian. Prestia.

Kelly is the one I'd be after. He really fits the mould.

As much as I love Shiel and Treloar, they would both come at a cost - quality picks/player/$$$.

We need to chase GWS players that could be the next Shiel or Treloar, but just aren't mature enough yet.

Both Kelly and Whitfield fit that mould, either player could even surpass Shiel and Treloar, and at the moment - they wouldn't come at such a high price.

I think to land Shiel or Treloar, It would take a quality pick and player, plus a decent contract.

Landing Kelly or Whitfield should only cost us a high pick, we could save 200-300k as well.

A guy I know that used to be on the recruiting team at WB when Eade was there told me Rocket was a lazy coach. Didn't follow up on stuff he should've, left a lot of work up to others that was his role to do, wasn't hard enough, didn't get the most out of some of the players. Now that was some time ago, a second hand experience of Rocket, and WB made a number of finals under his reign, so it's taken with a pinch of salt. But if there is any accuracy to it, he may not be the right person for the Suns.

If it happened, I'd love to be a fly on the wall when that news got to "purple's" ears!

best footage i've ever seen of rocket was when he was at the dogs with leon cameron on the phone down to the bench, and eade was going troppo about will minson stuffing up, ranting and raving, to the point where cameron screamed 'rocket, rocket, we can't hear ourselves!'.

it's absolutely hilarious.

And it would give us five "Brighton Grammar" old boys on our list. Maybe we could enter a team in the Amateurs n lieu of Casey? Edited May 11, 2015 by CBDees
